I recently had the good furtune of State Farm insurance buying me a new lift gate for my Explorer. A perfect opportunity to shave that rear wiper and squwirter I never use. Shaving door handles, locks and what have you will all fall under simular procedures. Also there are several ways to go...

ARGGGGGGGGGH I HATE vague problems. Slightly sluggish. I feel like the E-brake is on ( its not ) When I let off the gas at any given speed RPM's get a bit irratic. ( high then low, with no rythem or ryme or reason ) At idle RPM's are very smooth. Other wise the truck just doesnt feel...

I know we all have discussed the troubles with cleaning your mixing bottle after using Z2. I have found a trick that works. a 50/50 mix of cold water and simple green. Wash the bottle a few times to get the gook out and then fill it to the very top with the mix. Put the cap onshake it...

Got a BMW in the shop a bit over w week ago. Deer hit. Big one too. Fell on top of the hood. Replaced the valve cover, air intake box, two of the coil packs, and every thing from the fan clutch forward. Long story short, job is done I go to test drive it, CEL come up right away. This...

All hood shocks get old eventually. They loose the ability to hold a hood up. You never forget the first time a hood falls on your head. It really doesnt hurt but is sure does scare the **** out of you. Replacing these hood shocks is about as easy as it gets. I am going to give it a 0.5...

Water temp guage sender instal On my 2000 SOHC the water temp guage is like the oil presure guage. It is fake. It reads " cold, normal and over heating " not enough information for me. Santa hooked me up with an Auto-Meter water temp guage and an oil pressure guage. Here is a write up...

Where have every one been tapping for their guage illumination ? I tapped into what I have been using for the past few years for the tranny guage. I am not sure exactally what it goes to, but it is off the light switch. It dims with the dimmer which is what I want but it has always been...

I am here at the shop trying to instal my Auto-Meter water temp guage. A few q's. It seems I have to remove the intake manafold to acess the two factory water temp senders. :( Does any one know which sender is ECM and which one is for the guage ? One conncetor is brown and one is gray. Is...

I have a Kenwood / Sirius tuner. The display keeps saying " Antenna error " & " Tuner error " I checked all the connections and every thing seems in order. The tuner is less than a year old and had been in use less than six months. Any one ever deal with this ? I am sure I can...

Yeah I smoked my water pump on my Ex. Spent near two hours sitting on I-95 waiting for the roll back to show up :( Then Blee slows up with Lemonade Gatorade !!!!!!! :) Now that is one cool friend !!!!!!!!!!! Any way, I have a new OEM water pump sitting on my tool box and I will be...

I, like many here am obsessed with keeping my Ex as clean as possible. One little trick I have been doing long before I got the Explorer, and for some reason it seems no one else I have asked, or I have seen does this. Keep a few packs of Handi-Wipes in your glove box so when you get back in...

The scoops were taken from a 1988 Ford Thunderbird Super Coupe. They were pretty old, so I showed them some attention with some body filler and primer.

*** There are NO dyno results in this MPG program review. ( that even sounds silly ) *** the fourth program on my 4 program Bama chip was a 87 octane high MPG program. I am a fairly agressive driver from time to time. Pretty much an even mix of highway and " city " driving...
